React Sparkline Props

An object that specifies configuration options for the Sparkline widget.

argumentField

Specifies the data source field that provides arguments for a sparkline.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'arg'

barNegativeColor

Sets a color for the bars indicating negative values. Available for a sparkline of the bar type only.

Type:

String

Default Value: '#d7d7d7'

This option supports the following colors:

To set a color for the bars indicating positive values, specify the barPositiveColor option.

barPositiveColor

Sets a color for the bars indicating positive values. Available for a sparkline of the bar type only.

Type:

String

Default Value: '#a9a9a9'

This option supports the following colors:

To set a color for the bars indicating negative values, specify the barNegativeColor option.

dataSource

Specifies a data source for the sparkline.

Cannot be used in themes.

This option accepts one of the following.

  • Array of objects
    A simple JavaScript array containing a collection of plain objects.

  • URL
    A URL to JSON data or to a service returning data in JSON format.

  • DataSource or its configuration object
    A DataSource is an object that provides a handy API for data processing. A DataSource is a stateful object, which means that it saves data processing settings and applies them each time data is loaded. All underlying data access logic of a DataSource is isolated in a Store. A Store provides an API for reading and modifying data. Unlike the DataSource, a Store is a stateless object.

NOTE
Data field names should not contain the following characters: ., ,, :, [, and ]. Their presence may cause issues in the widget's operation.

    // ===== or =====
    .ElementAttr(new {
        @id = "elementId",
        @class = "class-name"
    })
    // ===== or =====
    .ElementAttr(new Dictionary<string, object>() {
        { "id", "elementId" },
        { "class", "class-name" }
    })

)
@(Html.DevExtreme().WidgetName() _
    .ElementAttr("class", "class-name")
    ' ===== or =====
    .ElementAttr(New With {

pointSize

Specifies the diameter of sparkline points in pixels. Available for the sparklines of line- and area-like types.

When using the widget as an ASP.NET MVC Control, specify this option using the VizPointSymbol enum. This enum accepts the following values: Circle, Square, Polygon, Triangle and Cross.

rtlEnabled

Switches the widget to a right-to-left representation.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false
Cannot be used in themes.

When this option is set to true, the widget text flows from right to left, and the layout of elements is reversed. To switch the entire application/site to the right-to-left representation, assign true to the rtlEnabled field of the object passed to the DevExpress.config(config) method.

JavaScript
DevExpress.config({
    rtlEnabled: true
});

showFirstLast

When this option is set to true, the minimum and maximum values are highlighted and painted in the colors specified by the minColor and maxColor options correspondingly.

size

Specifies the widget's size in pixels.

Type:

Object

Default Value: undefined

By default, the widget occupies the entire area of the container. If you need to set a particular size for the widget, different from the container's size, assign a height and width in pixels to height and width properties of the size object.

Using the size object, you can hide the widget. For this purpose, simply assign 0 to both the height and width of the widget.

NOTE
The size configuration object reserves space for the main widget elements, while displaying a tooltip may require extra space. To reserve the area around the widget for the tooltip, you can apply a margin to the widget's container.

theme

Type:

String

Default Value: 'generic.light'
Accepted Values: 'generic.light' | 'generic.dark' | 'generic.contrast' | 'generic.carmine' | 'generic.darkmoon' | 'generic.softblue' | 'generic.darkviolet' | 'generic.greenmist' | 'android5.light' | 'ios7.default'

A theme is a widget configuration that gives the widget a distinctive appearance. Use can use one of the predefined themes or create a custom one. Changing the option values in the widget's configuration object overrides the theme's corresponding values.

NOTE
The following themes were deprecated or renamed: 'desktop', 'desktop-dark', 'android', 'android-holo-light', 'ios', 'win8', 'win8-white', 'win8.white', 'win8.black'. In new applications, use themes listed in the accepted values.

When using the widget as an ASP.NET MVC Control, specify this option using the VizTheme enum. This enum accepts the following values: GenericLight, GenericDark, GenericContrast, GenericCarmine, GenericDarkMoon, GenericSoftBlue, GenericDarkViolet, GenericGreenMist, Android5Light, IOS7Default, Win10Black and Win10White.

tooltip

Configures the tooltip.

Type:

A tooltip is a miniature rectangle displaying widget data. The tooltip appears when the end-user hovers the cursor over the widget. You can enable/disable the tooltip, change its appearance and format its text using fields of the tooltip configuration object.

NOTE
The tooltip is displayed outside the widget's container. If you plan to use the tooltip, make sure there is enough space around your widget to display it. For example, you can apply a margin to the widget's container to reserve the area around the widget for the tooltip.

type

Determines the type of a sparkline.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'line'
Accepted Values: 'area' | 'bar' | 'line' | 'spline' | 'splinearea' | 'steparea' | 'stepline' | 'winloss'

valueField

Specifies the data source field that provides values for a sparkline.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'val'

winColor

Sets a color for the bars indicating the values greater than a winloss threshold. Available for a sparkline of the winloss type only.

Type:

String

Default Value: '#a9a9a9'

This option supports the following colors:

To set a color for the bars indicating the values that are less than the winloss threshold, specify the lossColor option.

winlossThreshold

Specifies a value that serves as a threshold for the sparkline of the winloss type.

Type:

Number

Default Value: 0

In the winloss sparkline, values are represented by bars that either grow up or go down from an invisible line. This line is determined by a threshold value. If a data source value is greater than this threshold value, the bar grows up. Otherwise, it goes down.

You can paint the 'win' and 'loss' bars differently. For this purpose, specify the required colors using the winColor and lossColor options respectively.
